The Halo Wars website has kicked off a Developers Blog (interesting, since the developers have been disbanded), and the first entry is an article about Halo Wars ranks and skill levels. Give it a read! Thanks to Planet Halo for the heads-up. Update: There’s also some entertaining reading over at Graeme Devine’s personal blog -…

I’ve never really been a fan of screenshot montages; it never seemed like the right medium for that sort of content. Maybe that’s just because I never saw one done in a way that really caught my imagination. MLG Slush sent word that he’d finished a screenshot montage called ‘Beautiful’, and I must say… it’s…

Kral, from Halo.fr, let us know about the first episode of WTF (What the French), a sort of Halo 3 Fails for French players. (Failure is universal, it seems; you might not understand the titles, but the gameplay is pretty straightforward.) (Louis Wu 16:39:08 UTC)
